Your photoshoot
on Kulhudhuffushi
Professional photography on Kulhudhuffushi, Haa Dhaalu Atoll: honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families and drone aerials, photographed by locals who know the island's best light.
About Kulhudhuffushi
Kulhudhuffushi is the commercial capital of the north, a city of about 10,000 people on 3 km² in Haa Dhaalu Atoll, roughly 275 km from Malé, with its own domestic airport opened in 2018 on reclaimed land at the island's edge. It is a busy trading town with a large harbour, a regional hospital and a tradition of coir rope-making, and it retains part of its mangrove wetland. It is the hub from which the northern atolls' smaller islands are reached, and a place to photograph working Maldivian urban life rather than resort beaches.
